随着全球转基因产品种植面积的扩大,人们对转基因产品安全性的担忧与日俱增,许多国家纷纷制定了关于转基因产品的贸易措施,以保证本国国民生命健康和环境免遭破坏。WTO成员要想成功援引《卫生和动植物检疫措施协定》必须满足以国际标准为基础、以科学证据为基础的风险评估、保护水平适当和有关同等待遇的规定等适格性条件。我国关于转基因生物安全的政策体系、法规体系已初步形成,但还须加强转基因食品的立法、尽快制定与国际接轨的相关规则与标准、建立转基因产品风险评估技术体系。

Due to the low level of legislation, it＇s necessary to accelerate the legislation of GMO food by working out the principles and criterion and establishing a system of the risk assessment.
